Aligning Ratchets on Transducer bracket
Aligning ratchets on one-piece bracket:
The one-piece bracket assembly includes two black plastic ratchets. The ratchets are used to
align the transducer with the boat hull. Each ratchet has the letters A-E molded into it.
3: Hold the transducer assembly against the
transom. Look at the transducer from the
side.Try to adjust the transducer so its face
is parallel to the ground. If it does, then the
"A" position is correct.

2: Slide the transducer in the
bracket and temporarily
slide the bolt through the
transducer bracket, as
shown in the image at
right.
1: Insert the ratchets in the bracket with the
letter "A" aligned with the dot stamped on the
outside of the transducer bracket, as shown in
the following series of diagrams.

Align dot and
letter "A".
If the transducer will not adjust with its face parallel to the ground, remove the transducer and
ratchets from the bracket. Reinsert the ratchets into the bracket, this time with the letter “B”
aligned with the dot stamped in the bracket.
Reassemble the transducer and bracket and place it against the transom. Again, check to see if
the transducer will adjust so its face is parallel with the ground. Repeat this process until the
transducers face will adjust so that it is parallel with the ground.
